Default Buying an S70 T5 - what to look for?

Hey guys,

I am checking a 1999 T5-M on Thursday for sale by a member of the Volvo community.

I have been around the 850 NA for a while now and know most of its quirks and problems. From what I understand the S70 is pretty much the same car, but are there any specific things to look out for on the 1999 model? Timing belt has been changed, no issues with the main seal or PCV, and the ECU was reflashed under some recall. Suspension is still running on the original components.

Any peculiarities on the 99 cars?

MAF ABS errors uhm They are very much the same a 99 is different in little things from 98 and lower. 850 had ABS puter up by brake cylinder the S70 has it under the brake master cylinder. i like the S70 looks a lot more and It seems to handle better when really pushed in corners.
